Compares measures for Other Races to White measures: a ratio of 1:1 suggests no disparity;
a ratio of 3:1 indicates the Other Races measure is three times the White measure; a ratio of
0.5:1.0 indicates the Other Races measure is half the White measure . Mortality comparisons
calculated with age-adjusted 5-yr rates, 2002-2006; all other comparisons use 1yr 06 or 07 data.
